Ruelle Longue Ombre Turquoise | 48" x 24"
About the Artwork
Ruelle Longue Ombre Turquoise is a 48" × 24" original acrylic on canvas painting by Sacha Barrette.
The narrow vertical proportions of Ruelle Longue Ombre Turquoise heighten the depth of an urban alley defined by a long turquoise shadow. Cool turquoise and blue passages extend through the lane against warmer orange, ochre and earth-coloured architecture. The strong perspective carries the eye into the distance, while alternating bands of light and shadow divide the elongated composition. Barrette uses the unusual 48-by-24-inch format to make the alley’s recession a central structural element, balancing warm and cool colour along its length.

Artwork Care
CARING FOR YOUR ARTWORK
Display
Hang artwork away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and air vents. UV exposure causes fading over time — UV-protective glazing is recommended for works on paper and photography. Avoid hanging artwork above fireplaces or in bathrooms where heat and humidity fluctuate.
Cleaning
Dust frames gently with a soft, dry cloth. Never use household cleaners, water, or solvents on the artwork surface. For oil paintings, a soft-bristle brush can be used lightly to remove surface dust. Professional cleaning is recommended for valuable or delicate pieces.
Temperature & Humidity
Maintain a stable environment — ideally 18–22°C (65–72°F) with 40–55% relative humidity. Rapid changes in temperature or humidity can cause warping, cracking, or flaking. In Alberta’s dry climate, a humidifier can help protect your collection during winter months.
Handling & Moving
Always handle artwork with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves. Carry framed works by the sides of the frame — never by the hanging wire. When transporting, wrap in acid-free tissue or soft blankets and keep upright. For valuable pieces, professional art handlers and custom crating are recommended.
Storage
Store artwork upright in a cool, dry, dark space. Use acid-free materials for wrapping. Never store artwork in attics, basements, or garages where temperature and humidity are uncontrolled.
Insurance
We recommend insuring your art collection. An up-to-date appraisal (every 2–3 years) ensures proper coverage. West End Gallery offers professional appraisal services — please enquire for details.
